70s I had to interrupt and stop this conversation Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation

80s
It's time to come together
It's up to you, what's your pleasure?

90s
Don’t believe in anything that you can’t break

The first one isn't stop! In the name of love is it? I thought that was 60s. Diana ross/supremes

Middle one is celebrate. Cool and the gang.

Not sure about the 3rd

NeedToKnow101 · 13/08/2020 21:01

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
